Hello All,
I have been vision impaired for many years and total for the last ten
or so. There is so much difference between seeing a bit and seeing nothing.
I learned a great deal from the difficulties that Jessica drew our
attention to and the answers received and I tried many of them myself
and certainly learned a lot from this discussion. I think it is
healthy for all of us to share some of the solutions.
I intend to join the two lists recommended, whether or not it is
decided to make this list solely recipes, many of which I delete
because I could not achieve them without sighted help, which I don't have.
I feel I have gained so many friends here and was very impressed by
the warmth and encouragement shown to our Jessica.
Even though some rarely ask a question on the List, it does not mean
that we are not gaining from the answers sent in, so I would not like
someone like Jessica to feel that she is allowed only to write off
list. I want to hear it too.
Sheila,
Vancouver, Canada.

Jessica, There is a list you can join if you want called kitchen
chat. It is a small list, but you can talk about anything that has
to do with the kitchen and cooking. My husband reminded me about
being the owner. I would be glad to have anyone that wanted to join.
the address is,
kitchen-chat-subscr...@yahoogroups.com

Subject: [CnD] Maybe I am on the wrong list.
Hi. I have to apologise for all of this. I am new to this list. I
did not know that this list was just for recipes. I thought that
because it was called cooking in the dark that you could talk
about anything cooking related. I also read as a part of the
subscription rules that no questions were stupid because everyone
cooks at a different level. Maybe I took that too literally, but
that is what I got out of it. Maybe if we are only supposed to
talk about recipes on this list and not talk about other aspects
of cooking then this list should be called recipes in the dark
instead of cooking in the dark. I was going to ask other
questions like how to load and unload a dishwasher and how to
make food look good when you are going to be serving it to a
bunch of people and how to tell wen all of the ingredients are
mixed in to the food properly and lots of other stuff as well.
Now I see that this is the wrong place for that kind of stuff. I
need a lot of help with my cooking skills before any of these
recipes you are talking about will do me any good. At this point,
I would not know how to do any of these recipes you are talking
about. Not even the microwave ones. This list is too advanced for
me. When I signed up for it I thought that we could talk about
anything cooking or food related. The name cooking in the dark
threw me off and made me think that this was a cooking list not
just a list for recipes. Now that I am reading all of the mail
from this list, I see that all people talk about on here is
recipes. I am sorry! Maybe I need to go and find myself a
different list.
